Titans, Pats reopen facilities after reported no new positives
The Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots reopened their facilities and resumed practicing Saturday after both teams recorded no new positives in the latest round of COVID-19 testing Friday, sources told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The results mean the Titans' game against the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday and the Patriots' contest against the Denver Broncos on Monday remain on track to be played as scheduled.
Both games were moved as a result of the teams' COVID-19 issues.
Tennessee's outbreak stands at 23 players and personnel since Sept. 24. The league and players' union are reportedly investigating multiple unauthorized workouts involving Titans players while their team facility was closed.
Quarterback Cam Newton and cornerback Stephon Gilmore were among the three Patriots players testing positive for the coronavirus.
Head coach Bill Belichick said Saturday it's still unclear if Newton - who sat out Week 4 - and Gilmore will play against the Broncos.
